    Canada may be number 1 in something.... but it ain't vaccine manufacturing.

    We used to have one of the best facilities in the world. There is already plans to set a new facility up now. Canada has a rich history in medical research contrary to what the resident dummy "TreeFrogTrader" believes. However, a succession of privatization moves by various governments created some issues currently.

    That's funny...I like it.

    Seriously, if you've ever been inside of a Québécois cabane à sucre (sugar shack)...great outing for the family...lots of fun outdoor activities around the shack. A lot of fun especially via the fact the maple processing place is indoors with you in the same sugar shack...you can see your Maple Syrup being made.

    I'm sure they can easily switch over to vaccine productions. Do inoculation for Covid, breakfast / lunch / dinner plus you'll walk away with a bottle of warm Maple. :D :rolleyes:

    I’m starting to think US News and World Report missed the boat here. They didn’t factor in the Ausies having twerking dance troops to launch their sea faring vessels. That’s got to increase quality of life.

    You’ve come a long way from being a prison colony, Australia. Not bad at all.

    Best country, eh? Sorry, eh.

    Report 751 bodies found at Indigenous school in Canada

    REGINA, Saskatchewan (AP) — Leaders of Indigenous groups in Canada said Thursday investigators have found 751 unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school for Indigenous children — a discovery that follows last month’s report of 215 at another school.

    “This was a crime against humanity, an assault on First Nations,” said Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous First Nations in Saskatchewan. He said he expects more graves will be found on residential school grounds across Canada.

    “We will not stop until we find all the bodies.”

    The bodies were discovered at the Marieval Indian Residential School, which operated from 1899 to 1997 where the Cowessess First Nation is now located, about 85 miles east of Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan.

    Chief Cadmusn Delmore of the Cowessess said that the graves were marked at one time, but that the Roman Catholic Church that operated the school had removed the markers.

    “The Pope needs to apologize for what happened,” he said.

    “An apology is one stage in the way of a healing journey.”

    Last month the remains of 215 children, some as young as 3 years old, were found buried on the site of what was once Canada’s largest Indigenous residential school near Kamloops, British Columbia.

    Following that discovery, Pope Francis expressed his pain over the discovery and pressed religious and political authorities to shed light on “this sad affair.” But he didn’t offer the apology sought by First Nations and by Canadian prime minister.

    From the 19th century until the 1970s, more than 150,000 Indigenous children were forced to attend state-funded Christian schools, the majority of them run by Roman Catholic missionary congregations, in a campaign to assimilate them into Canadian society.

    The Canadian government has admitted that physical and sexual abuse was rampant in the schools, with students beaten for speaking their native languages.

  8. Horrific, to be sure. But at least it is fully acknowledged.

    Meanwhile, January 6.

    (We can go back further in US history if you like. Much further or not so much; an embarrassment of riches to choose from.)

    So just how many children were killed on January 6th?

  10. You understand that your Canadian story is more of a church thing. Yes, the schools were state funded, but they were run by the church. Try to emphasize your grievance where it belongs. (Read the story you posted.)

    Meanwhile, I suggest you shutter your glass house before speaking of untimely deaths.
